Forsee, curator disclosure info

Saturday

The University of Missouri Systemís Board of Curators is scheduled to meet June 10-11 in Columbia, and one topic expected to be on the table is a review of financial disclosure forms.

At the April meeting in Rolla, Curator Warren Erdman suggested that curators review one anotherís list of employers, stocks and other financial information to make sure theyíre avoiding conflicts of interest come time to vote.

Curator Jack Carnahan was a little hesitant of the idea at the time, saying he didnít necessarily want to see his personal info splashed in a newspaper.

Of course, the comment piqued my attention and, since financial disclosure reports are public information, I took the liberty of requesting them. Not going to splash them in the paper, but I will provide a rundown of the info here. Financial disclosures are required every year and ask that public officials list affiliations and sources of income.
